A cat belonging to 3rd Congressional District candidate Ken Aden’s campaign manager was killed Sunday. The cat’s corpse was spray-painted with the word “liberal.”
Jacob Burris, Aden’s campaign manager since October, said his four children discovered the cat dead on the front porch when the family arrived at their Russellville home Sunday.
Aden said the incident is disgusting.
“This individual must have had a screw loose in the head,” Aden said today. “It’s just wrong, any way you slice it.”
Burris filed an incident report with the Russellville Police Department and has contacted the Federal Bureau of Investigation, Aden said.
Josh McMillan, department public information officer, said officials had no leads or suspect information. If information on a suspect is developed, officers will treat the incident as an animal cruelty case, he said.
“Right now we have no other reports of this happening,” McMillan said, “but we plan to step up patrols in the area to make sure it is an isolated event.”
Aden said he doesn’t intend to the let the incident affect the campaign.
“All across the country, people are fed up with politics, but we have to stay above the fray,” he said.
The 33-year-old Russellville Democrat is running for the seat held by Republican Rep. Steve Womack of Rogers. Womack is seeking re-election.
The general election is Nov. 6.
Same here as well.
I also am a member of the “got a letter from Jet Fuel Oil” club. He’s been banned. Strange person. Would of been interesting to have figured him out a bit.
